I'm six weeks. Fortunately I've been mostly symptom free- although it makes me a little paranoid so I've taken about six tests to make sure Fancy is still there. He/she still is- and I have cold hard evidence starting mid last week: I've been really grumpy and now ultra moody.
My dad has been running around telling whomever will listen that I'm with child so naturally, I'm a little overwhelmed with the attention- it's still early. Like real early. I was bitching about it back and forth with my sister via blackberry chat with gratuitous use of the F word wishing my dad would "shut his fat mouth" among other things... when she called me out:
LBoogie: AND YOU SAY YOU'RE NOT HAVING ANY SYMPTOMS?!?!?!?
I told her to eff off and mind her business.
I like it when I know I'm being irrational- after that point, I get a kick out of going overboard- for example, I deleted my other sister from my blackberry chat (so she had to use regular texting- it's a big deal, trust me) because she wasn't answering in a timely enough fashion. So I deleted her. She sent a second request. I deleted that one too. I didn't tell her about it. I'm enjoying being passive aggressive.
Earlier in the day yesterday I was a little emotional too, but I think for all the right reasons. I hadn't been experience any nausea to date and all of the mommy-to-be emails are pitying the women who are- these emails are tailored for the week of development that you're in so I'm "supposed" to be feeling something. But I'm not. I woke up yesterday to this: "Women who experience some nausea are significantly less likely to miscarry than those who don’t."
Uh, WHAT? Why on EARTH would you write that? Now, with a little research, I found that only half of all women experience mourning sickness- and some argue that if you don't experience it, it's because your baby may be genetically challenged. Or you're just lucky and there's nothing wrong. However, depending on what wives tail you read the absence of nausea might also point to carrying a baby boy.
Either way, 'What to Expect Blanket E mail'- what are you thinking? I'm know you're trying to quell the nerves of half of the women who are reading particular email on that particular day, but uh...what about the other half?! That percentage is HUGE! I mean, even car companies who have formulas about the cost of the loss of human life vs. the cost of a recall are more sensitive than you- half of the population is a HUGE percentage.
Non-Fancy related news: Saturday Snaggletoe and I saw Taking Woodstock I had a slice of pizza the size of my head from Lorenzos (all I want to eat as of late is pizza) and SundaySnaggletoe and I went to Amada for Restaurant Week. Cell pics to share:
@Lorenzo's on South Street. We went on a date. Walked around South and then saw a movie.


I think the people at Amada thought I was being a creep (what else if new) so I didn't take any pictures of the food (but it was awesome.)

Comments
Haha, I just notice that I'm about to leave a comment correcting my misspelling but I'm sticking with the AOLspeak "Cuz" instead of because. Thanks Sister Barbara.
However, will say that I love the new blog design and happy pineapple picture of you.
BTW- "Keep your fat mouth shut" is what my dad says to us when he wants us to keep a secret. "Stop piggin' up all the ______" is what he says when he thinks we're hogging things.
Dad-isms.
